You cannot do this
def init(self):
self.form = LoginForm()

is out of the scope of working applicatoin contextg

There's a security concern with exposing specifically username is invalid or password is invalid(You solve half of the problem for mr hacker). In such cases it's better to say "username or password is invalid" without specifiing which one exactly.

I don't think exposing username matters that much:

1. Your project probably has public usernames anyway.
2. Usability suffers.

TextField has now been deprecated in favor of StringField in WTForms. I suggest updated line 8 accordingly to:
email = flask_wtf.StringField(u'email', validators=email_validator)

Is this valid? The docs say it should be, for example, validate_email(form, field) not validate_email(self,field)
